Join us March 7 for Cal Poly's Day of Giving!

 

March 7 is Poly Gives, Cal Poly's Day of Giving - the day when our amazing alumni, parents and friends give back to the Cal Poly they love, and our incredible students show their appreciation for the thousands of generous donors, faculty and staff who help make Learn by Doing possible.

 

 

Poly Gives is also the culmination of Why Give? week. The week leading up to Poly Gives, an enthusiastic group of student philanthropy leaders engage their peers in recognizing and thanking the countless individuals who have made a tangible difference in their experience as students.

 

 

Taking the form of hand-written thank you notes, thank you photos and videos, and personal messages sent from students to donors, faculty and staff, our students take great pride in acknowledging those who have made, and continue to make, a lasting impact in their lives.
